Prediction for Dalton Schultz
Nobody knows which slot Dalton Schultz will land in this week, so pick the one you expect. The projection changes because each slot faces a different average from the Bengals.
I predict about 8.4 points for Dalton Schultz if playing as a TE1. Dalton Schultz has averaged 7.5 over 1 game, and the Bengals have given up 5.6 to TE1s (-46% vs the league average of 10.3).
How this projection is built
1. The player. Dalton Schultz scored: Wk 1 7.5. Average 7.5; weighted toward recent games it is 9.5.
2. The defense. Over 1 game, the Bengals allowed 5.6 points to their opponent's TE1. The league average for that slot is 10.3, so that is -46%.
3. Trusting small samples less. With 1 defensive game, only 25% of the gap is applied, capped at +/-30%. That gives a -11% adjustment (x0.89).
4. Result. 9.5 x 0.89 = 8.4. Switching slots only changes step 2 and 3: the player's own numbers stay the same, but each slot faces a different defensive average.
It is a statistical model, not knowledge of injuries, game script or weather.
Chance to score
Type a point total to see how likely Dalton Schultz is to reach it as a TE1.
Why this percentage?
The projection (8.4) is the middle of the range. Fantasy scores swing a lot from game to game, so the model spreads possible scores around it by about 5.0 points, leaning on Dalton Schultz's own game-to-game swings once there are several games (and on typical TE swings before that).
Scores are modelled as right-skewed, since a big game is possible but a very negative one is not. The percentage is the share of that spread at or above 8.
With only 1 game of history, treat this as a rough gauge. It gets sharper as the season goes on. It is never lower than 1% or higher than 99%.
Insights
- all TEs have averaged 3.0 receptions, 26.0 receiving yards and 0.0 receiving TDs per player-game against the Bengals across 1 game.
- The Bengals allow 5.6 PPR points to the position per game, -58% versus the league average of 13.3 (ranked 28 of 32, where 1 is most generous). That is a tough matchup.
- all TEs scored a touchdown in 0 of 1 player-games (0%).
- Small sample: only 1 game so far. Treat these numbers as directional, not settled.

Dalton Schultz usually plays as the team's TE1, so the verdict uses the TE1 numbers, not the slot selected above.
- Dalton Schultz averages 16.8 PPR points over 2 games (recent-weighted 17.8) and has played as the team's TE1.
- The Bengals have allowed 15.8 points to TE1s over 2 games (+54% vs league). The model applies 40% of that gap because the sample is small, giving a +21% adjustment.
- Last season's average (10.5) is blended in at 50% weight because this season's sample is small.
- Projection: 17.1 points.
- For reference, a typical weekly starter-level TE scores about 13.1 and a top-tier one about 19.6.

Dalton Schultz's stats vs the Bengals
Season so far, compared with what the group you pick below has done against the Bengals, plus a projection for this game.
What is this table?
Rows at the top are every game Dalton Schultz has played this season, using the same stat columns as the table above.
Compare against picks which group of Bengals opponents to line them up with: the best TE they faced in each game (1), the second best (2), the third best (3), or all of the top three. Nobody knows which slot Dalton Schultz will land in this week, so this is your call, not a guess.
Bengals avg is the average line of that group. Difference is that minus Dalton Schultz's own average: green means the defense gives that slot more than Dalton Schultz usually produces.
Projected is Dalton Schultz's recent-weighted average scaled by how generous the Bengals were to the slot you picked. Change the slot and the projected points change, because each slot has a different matchup adjustment. Picking Top 3 uses the usual-role projection.
| Wk | Opp | Tgt | Rec | ReYd | ReTD | FPts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BUF | 8 | 4 | 35 | 0 | 7.5 |
| 2 | CIN | 14 | 12 | 140 | 0 | 26.0 |
| Schultz avg | 11.0 | 8.0 | 87.5 | 0.0 | 16.8 | |
| Bengals All avg | 5.0 | 3.0 | 26.0 | 0.0 | 5.6 | |
| Difference | -6.0 | -5.0 | -61.5 | +0.0 | -11.2 | |
| Projected | 13.4 | 9.7 | 106.3 | 0.0 | 17.1 | |
Difference is what the defense allows minus what Schultz averages (green = defense gives up more). Projected stats scale the player's averages by the matchup adjustment, so they are a rough guide.
